This expansive brewery boasts artsy, eclectic décor with a slight Cajun flair to go along with a great location, as its sprawling structure provides a southern anchor to the lively bustle of downtown Brea. It pours top beers by brewmaster Victor Novak, including his Hefeweizen wheat beer and his hearty Russian Imperial Stout. Beer lovers can't get enough of his seasonal brews---from the Cinco de Mayo-inspired Oscura brown lager to the spicy pumpkin ale. Chef Manny Gonzalez matches Novak’s skill with his Midwestern Angus steaks, Cajun specialties and especially seafood, where he uses fresh, local ingredients and the allure of the oyster bar. The Sunday jazz brunch is a real treat (and a value), when the raw bar and several tables in the bar area are loaded with a variety of delicacies. Guests pile their plates with cracked crab claws, fresh oysters, spicy peeled shrimp and imported cheeses, while prepared entrées range from jambalaya to biscuits and gravy, and chefs at various stations make waffles, omelets and pastas to order. Waiters keep the Champagne flutes---or, for real beer fanatics, pint glasses---full.
